Product Description
The HON-PSU-12V2A-EU is a 12V DC, 1.5A (1500mA) plug-in mains adapter built to power a single CCTV camera or similar low-voltage device. It fits an EU 2-pin wall socket directly and outputs through a standard 2.1mm DC barrel connector — the connector type most CCTV cameras and DVR accessories use.
Where it fits
- Output: 12V DC, regulated (steady voltage rather than raw unfiltered current, which matters for sensitive electronics)
- Current: 1.5A / 1500mA maximum
- Plug: EU 2-pin mains
- Connector: 2.1mm DC barrel
- Cable: includes a ferrite core (the bulge near the plug) to cut down electrical interference
- Compliance: CE marked
What to check before buying
Match the connector size and voltage to your camera's spec plate — 2.1mm barrel and 12V DC are common but not universal. Also check your camera's rated current draw against the 1.5A ceiling; if you're running IR (infrared) LEDs for night vision, they pull more power after dark, and an undersized or long, thin cable run can cause voltage drop — a frequent cause of flickering or dropped images at night.
This is a mains (EU socket) adapter, not a UK 3-pin unit — check your socket type before ordering, or plan to use a suitable UK adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this power my CCTV camera at night without flickering?
It should, provided your camera's IR LED current draw stays within the 1.5A limit and the cable run isn't so long or thin that voltage drops — that combination is a common cause of night-time flicker.
Does this fit a UK plug socket?
No — the HON-PSU-12V2A-EU has an EU 2-pin plug, so you'd need a UK-compatible adapter to use it directly in a standard UK wall socket.
What connector size does it use?
A standard 2.1mm DC barrel connector, which is common across CCTV cameras and DVR accessories — check your device's port matches before ordering.
Is the output regulated or just a basic transformer?
It's a regulated 12V DC output, meaning the voltage stays stable rather than fluctuating, which suits sensitive CCTV electronics.
